The much-anticipated addition to the Evil Dead series, Lee Cronin’s latest installment, ‘Evil Dead Rise,’ has made its blood-soaked debut on Max this past weekend. However, it’s not the only film in the saga available for streaming on the platform.

In an exciting development, all five films from the Evil Dead franchise are now streaming on Max, making it the ultimate destination to experience the entire thrilling and gory saga!

The franchise, which has become a staple in the horror genre, consists of:

‘The Evil Dead’ (1981)
‘Evil Dead II’ (1987)
‘Army of Darkness’ (1993)
‘Evil Dead’ (2013)
‘Evil Dead Rise’ (2023)
It all began with Sam Raimi’s groundbreaking horror classic, ‘The Evil Dead,’ which introduced the iconic Ash Williams (played by Bruce Campbell) and the terrifying Deadites he valiantly battled throughout his life. ‘Evil Dead II’ followed in 1987, taking horror-comedy to exhilarating new heights.

Campbell’s final portrayal of Ash on the big screen came in 1993 with ‘Army of Darkness,’ a wild and fantastical time-traveling adventure directed by Sam Raimi, set in the medieval era. (Fun fact: The movie was originally titled ‘The Medieval Dead,’ a title some consider superior!)

Two decades later, Fede Alvarez took the director’s chair and reinvented ‘The Evil Dead’ for a new generation with the relentless 2013 installment, featuring a fresh cast and a cabin-in-the-woods horror narrative. Jane Levy’s character, Mia, became a standout horror icon, while Bruce Campbell made a return to the franchise with the short-lived Starz series “Ash vs. Evil Dead,” which continued the original storyline. Unfortunately, the series is not currently available for streaming on Max.

This year, Lee Cronin revived the franchise with ‘Evil Dead Rise,’ shifting the horror madness from a cabin in the woods to a towering high-rise in Los Angeles. The film introduces a new chainsaw-wielding hero Lily Sullivan as Beth and a formidable new Deadite villain, portrayed by Alyssa Sutherland as Ellie. This fresh take on the franchise’s signature elements adds another thrilling chapter to its legacy.
